I did not read anyplace in T.R.s post where he said anything about first sources. If you really believe your above then you live under a rock and the only only one who believes it are strawmen like you.
The South and anything Confederate is under attack almost on a daily basis for the issue of slavery. That is a fact. Yes I can prove it by providing links to todays news reports. We tried that expermint some time back but Jim rejected every instance that was posted. Remember???
Wasn't it just a few years ago that Gephart made a comment that the CBF should be removed from a Confederate cemetery in Missouri because it represented slavery and was offensive? I think so.
